Attorneys and adoption agencies to provide free information and resources

Are you thinking about adoption but don’t know where to start? The S.C. Bar Young Lawyers Division (YLD) can help. Mark your calendars for the annual Families Forever Fair to be held Saturday, Feb. 1, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Felix C. Davis Community Center located at 4800 Park Circle, N. Charleston 29415.

The fair offers free information on adoption, including resource materials and one-on-one consultations. Attorneys, agencies and other vendors in children’s services will be on hand to answer questions, provide helpful resources, and encourage families to consider foster care and adoption. Several brief adoption workshops will also be available during the fair. Sessions include:

Session 1

Workshop A: Adoption 101 - Explore the process of the different types of adoption and learn where to start.

Workshop B: Domestic Infant Adoption - Explore the legal process of domestic adoption, the role of the attorney, requirements and the adoption process.

Workshop B: Parent Panel - A group of parents that have adopted children (domestic, international and DSS) will share their wisdom and experience with the process.

Registration for the fair is not required; however, space in each session is limited, so attendees are encouraged to register online at www.scbar.org/adoption. For more information, contact Jacqueline Bond Anthony at (843) 212-8700.

The YLD includes all members of the S.C. Bar under age 36 and those with less than five years membership.

The S.C. Bar, which has a membership of more than 14,500 lawyers, is dedicated to advancing justice, professionalism and understanding of the law.
